Pride and Prejudice
. . . . .
Author:
Jane Austen
. . . . .
What the book is about:
When Elizabeth Bennet meets Mr. Darcy she is repelled by his overbearing pride, and prejudice towards her family. But the Bennet girls are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, so when Darcy’s friend, the affable Mr. Bingley, forms an attachment to Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid. Polite society will be turned upside down in this witty drama of friendship, rivalry, and love—Jane Austen’s classic romance novel.
. . . . .
Why I like it:
Mr. Darcy.
(If I need to say more after that, I’d say the language is beautiful, the characters are deep and relatable, and the story will make you sigh with all the contentment in the world. And we need young women to continue to read and share classics. Amen.)
